Description of Academic/Research Interests:
The focus of my academic responsibilities involves dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease among other topics. My research activities are focused in the area of dyslipidemia with an emphasis in work on the metabolic syndrome and clinical outcomes.
Practice site:
Orange County Heart Institute and Research Center
Saint Joseph Medical Plaza
1140 West La Veta Ave., Suite 640
Orange, CA 92868
Rotation description:
The Ambulatory Care Clerkship at the Orange County Heart Institute and Research Center is designed to provide various clinical experiences necessary to prepare students to become entry level practitioners with a cardiology emphasis. The students will be involved in direct patient care activities in a primary care lipid clinic and coumadin clinic, and will have opportunities to work with other health care professionals. The students are expected to serve as an integral member of the multidisciplinary health care team to assess patients and provide appropriate drug therapy. Students are required to present a journal club, a drug information project, as well as a one-hour disease state presentation which is given to the rest of the staff, faculty, and students at the clinic.
